#Christmas is a day of remembrance and strengthening family bonds. The border wall behind me cuts those bonds. It disintegrates families seeking inalienable dignity.

It is a monument to bigotry, a piece of physical xenophobia.

The picture is from my trip to Tijuana in August when I spent a few days advising asylum seekers. I am standing on the Mexican side, but technically inside the US.

Here, hope and despair run feverishly as two turbulent rivers, each vying for victory in these roaring rapids.

Tonight, entire families hunker down in a tent city not a hundred yards from where this picture was taken, their futures deliberately made cruelly uncertain, and still our government throws up more walls of bureaucracy designed to break the spirit under a huge "closed" sign.

"That study has been the subject of some controversy, although mostly built on conflating the findings with various interpretations of them, and with reporting on the study conducted by third parties."

It is Christmas eve & I want to tell you a story that exemplifies the spirit of giving. (Short thread) #HappyHolidays

In August 2017, it took a few days for the Bangladesh govt to decide to open their borders to the Rohingya refugees. It took a few more days to get UNHCR & WFP get the permission to start their work at the border.

In those first few days, ppl who lived in Cox’s Bazar, cooked all night, loaded it in trucks & drove 60 kms south to feed the refugees. This isnt a rich town, people dont have excess to share. Kids gave clothes, people have blankets, tents, food..

CIA officers & their families have been writing heartfelt #holiday messages to show our officers overseas just how much their #service & sacrifice are appreciated. This week, we're sharing our favorites. #CIAserves

The five words that best describe your Presidency are as follows, and I quote,
“Bing, bing, bing, bong, bong"
